THE CoMMoNs-sEXToN's SPEECH.
In the House of Commons to-day
Sexton appealed to the Government
to give such justifcations as they
could for the murderous act at Mitch
elstown yesterday. "Beyond doubt,
he said, "the bloodshed resulted from
the wanton attack of an armed force
upon body OF citizens engaged in tht
exercise of their undoubted constitu
tional right to a public meeting. Wht
ordered the firing, and what steps have
been taken to identify the men wht
committed the murders? The catas
thrope was the result of the language
and act of the Government, who ha(
found it easier to begin than to enc
the conflict"
CONDOR TO BLAME.
Balfour claims that Sexton's &C
count of the affair differed material,
in substantial particulars from the ac
counts telegraphed to the Govern
ment. He claims that Condor
shouted to the people to close VI
against the police and that was th'
signal for wanton and brutal at
tack upon the police utterl,
unprovoked. The responsibility reste'
with band OF politicians callin!
themselves leaders OF the Irish peopl
who spoke of Government reporters a
spies. If these persons, instead c
talking about continual agitation, ha
exercised their influence to keep pee
pie within the law, the country woul
not have to deplore these scenes.
WARNING WORDS.
Reed warned the government tina
English electors would resent any in
reference with public meetings. TIL,
people of Great Britain would not al
low their fellow subjects in Ireland t.
be treated in this manner.
PRESS COMMENT.
The Times says "The blood of tn,
Mitchelstown victims is on the head
OF Messrs. O'Brien, Davitt and La
bouchere, whose inf1ammatory an(
cynical language drove the men agains
the soldiers rifles. This teaches th'
people that although their leaders
have amusement and profit the people
pay for it with their skins"
The Standard says "The spectacle a
Mitchelstown will convince Messrs
Labouchere and Bremen, of the goa
whereto their steps lead before it i
too late. They will be held guilty TO
the suffering which otherwise ensues.
The News this morning says: "Co
ercion was not long in bearing its bit
terest fruits. The government want
to provoke bloodshed in Ireland
Blood has been shed in perfect wan
tonness, and butchery seen in its mos
revolving feature"
The Post says "The Mitchelstowl
affair shows the necessity for the full
application of the Crimes Act to pre-
vent such meetings altogether"
